Plastic Lid Collection
W. Finn
Did you know that plastic lids from drink bottles – milk, soft drink, water, etc. can be recycled to make prosthetic hands? Jurell in Prep is hoping to receive a prosthetic hand very soon. He would love to send lots of lids to the company to make more for other children. Can you please send clean plastic lids to school? There is a collection box in the office of the Green Learning Centre. Thanks
